In order to see and understand God you must do the following in the following order:
1. Put aside all of your critical thinking and reasoning skills
2. Humbly admit that you are a sinner in need of salvation and repent of said sins
3. Submit your life and will to the all powerful invisible guy in the sky
4. Have "faith" that he is there and can hear you and let him guide you into all understanding and "truth"
Unless you are willing to do that you will never find God. Not with your intellect, scientific research, or any other methodology. Although these steps in and of themselves sound like a perfect recipe to lead yourself into a delusion and delusional thinking.
Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
It looks like the authors of the N.T. knew that we would be asking such questions spooky eh? Lol Here is the logic used by all religionists: I believe in God, Jesus his son, and the Holy Ghost therefore they exist.
I believe in Santa, his elves, and the flying reindeer therefore they exist. I personally don't see the difference.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
